::taco soup::

okay...so I was honestly skeptical when I first head about this recipe! But, truth be told, it is de-lish! Even hubby agrees!!

****************************

1 medium onion
1 lb ground beef
2-3 tsp cumin
some oregano and/or basil...if you like
S&P
1 carton stock
additional water (approx. 1/2 a carton)
1 - 28oz can diced tomatoes
1 can kidney beans
a couple handfuls of frozen corn
(you can totally throw in a huge amount of spinach
OR kale at the end for the "lettuce" component
...i just didn't have either!)

*************************

  1. fry up the onion and beef
  2. add the spices and simmer a few minutes
  3. add the rest of the ingredients
  4. bring to a boil
  5. let simmer for as long as you have before dinner....2 mins - 2 hours :)

as you are simmering the soup...prep your toppings!

these too can be as varied as your taste! i simply added what we like to put in our wraps...along with the taco chips:)


once you're ready to eat, serve up a bowl of goodness, sprinkle on all (or some or none:)) of the toppings....and enjoy!!

super nummy
super speedy
super simply!
....homemade!!
